(K.) b2: And عَكَّ He (a man) remained, stayed, or abode, and confined himself. (IAar, TA.) A2: عَكَّتْهُ الحُمَّى, (S, O,) [aor., app., عَكُّ,] inf. n. عَكٌّ, (TA,) The fever clave to him, and heated him, or made him vehemently hot, (S, O, TA,) so that it emaciated him, or oppressed him. (TA.) b2: and عُكَّ He (a man) was, or became, fevered. (TA.) b3: And It boiled, or estuated, or fermented, by reason of the heat. (TA.) A3: عَكَّهُ, (S, O,) aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. عَكٌّ, (O, TA,) He hindered, prevented, impeded, or withheld, him, from the object of his want: (S, O:) or عَكَّهُ عَنْ حَاجَتِهِ signifies thus; and he turned him back, or away, therefrom. (K.) b2: And also, i. e. عَكَّهُ, (S, O, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. عَكٌّ, (TA,) He deferred with him, delayed with him, or put him off, in the matter of his due, by promising time after time to render it to him. (S, O, K.) b3: And He asked him to repeat to him [by relating it] twice, or three times, a narration, or story, that he had related to him: (K:) or عَكَكْتُهُ الحَدِيثَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. عَكٌّ, I asked him to repeat the narration, or story, until he repeated it [by relating it] twice. (Az, S, O.) b4: And عَكَّ الكَلَامَ He interpreted, or explained, the speech, or language. (K.) It is related of IAar that, being asked respecting a thing, he said, سَوْفَ أَعُكُّهُ لَكَ I will interpret it, or explain it, to thee. (TA.) b5: [And app. He rejected the speech, or saying: for] العَكُّ signifies also the rejecting a man's speech, or saying, and not accepting it. (O.) b6: And عَكَّهُ بِالقَوْلِ He repeated to him the speech, or saying, (رَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ,) occasioning annoyance, or molestation. (L, TA.) [This might be rendered agreeably with the next preceding explanation: but] one says, مَا زِلْتُ

أَعُكُّهُ بِالقَوْلِ حَتَّى غَضِبَ I ceased not to reiterate to him (أُرَدِّدُ عَلَيْهِ) the speech, or saying, until he was angry. (El-Jurjánee, TA.) And in like manner, عَكَّنِى بِالأَمْرِ, inf. n. عَكٌّ, He reiterated to me (رَدَّدَ عَلَىَّ) the thing, affair, case, or action, until he fatigued me: (L, TA:) or عَكَّهُ بالامر he repeated to him (رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ) the thing, &c., until he fatigued him. (K.) And عَكَّهُ بِشَرٍّ He repeated, or reiterated, evil, or wrongdoing, to him; syn. كَرَّرَهُ عَلَيْهِ. (Lh, K.) b7: [Hence, perhaps, because the act is generally reiterated,] عَكَّهُ بِالسَّوْطِ He struck him [or flogged him] with the whip. (S, O, K.) b8: And عَكَّهُ بِالحُجَّةِ, (IDrd, O, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. عَكٌّ, (IDrd, O,) He overcame him by, or with, the argument, or plea. (IDrd, O, K.) b9: And العَكُّ signifies also الدَّقُّ [The breaking, crushing, bruising, &c., of a thing]. (O.) 4 أَعَكَّتْ, said of a she-camel [when she has conceived (see عُكَّةٌ)], (S, K,) or of such as is termed عُشَرَآءُ [q. v.], (TA,) She assumed an altered colour. (S, K, TA.) يَوْمٌ عَكٌّ, and ↓ عَكِيكٌ, (S, O, K,) and ↓ ذُوعَكِيكٍ, (TA,) [A sultry day; i. e.] a day vehemently hot, (S, O, K,) with moisture, and without wind: (K:) thus يَوْمٌ عَكٌّ أَكٌّ is expl. by Th, among instances of imitative sequents; meaning, perhaps, that أَكٌّ is an imitative sequent, or that it signifies “ vehemently hot: ” (TA:) or a day vehemently hot and dense [in the air]. (El-Jurjánee, TA.) and لَيْلَةٌ عَكَّةٌ [A sultry night; i. e.] a night vehemently hot, &c. (K.) And أَرْضٌ عَكَّةٌ, and ↓ أَرْضُ عَكَّةٍ, A hot [or sultry] land; (S, O, K:) mentioned by Fr. (S, O.) And ↓ حَرٌّ عَكِيكٌ Vehement [or sultry] heat. (TA.) b2: عَكٌّ applied to a man, (S, O,) Tough, strong, (Az, S, O, TA,) and compact. (Az, TA.) A2: ائْتَزَرَ إِزْرَةَ عَكَّ وَكَّ, (S, O, K,) and ↓ إِزْرَةَ عَكَّى, (S,) or عَكَّى وَكَّى, (O, K,) He wore a waist-wrapper so that he made its two ends to hang down and drew together the rest of it [round his waist]. (S, O, K.) عَكَّةٌ (Lth, S, O, K) and ↓ عُكَّةٌ (Lth, S, K) and ↓ عِكَّةٌ and ↓ عَكَكٌ (K) and ↓ عَكِيكٌ and ↓ عِكَاكٌ, (S, O, K,) which last is also a pl., (K,) said to be pl. of عَكَّةٌ, (O,) [Sultriness; i. e.] vehemence of heat (Lth, S, O, K) in summer (Lth) [with moisture (see the first sentence of this art.) and] with stillness of the wind: (K:) it may be with the south or southerly wind (الجَنُوب) and the east or easterly wind (الصَّبَا). (TA.) Hence the saying of the rhyming-proser, إِذَا طَلَعَ السِّمَاكْ ذَهَبَ وَقَلَّ اللِّكَاكْ ↓ العِكَاكْ [When السماك rises aurorally, the sultriness goes, or rather has gone, (see السِّمَاكُ, and another ex. of العِكَاك there cited,) and the pressing, or crowding, at, or to, the water becomes little]. (O.) b2: See also عَكٌّ. b3: And see عُكَّةٌ, in two places.

عُكَّةٌ: see عَكَّةٌ. b2: Also A sand heated by the sun; (T, S, O, K;) and so ↓ عَكَّةٌ: (K:) pl. of the former عِكَاكٌ. (TA.) b3: And The access of a fever, on the occasion of the first tremour, or shivering, thereof; as also ↓ عَكَّةٌ. (K.) b4: and العُكَّةُ, (K,) or عُكَّةُ العِشَارِ, (S, O,) A colour that overspreads she-camels when they have conceived. (S, O, K,) like the كَلَف of the woman. (K.) A2: And The receptacles, (S, K,) or [correctly] one of the receptacles, (O,) for clarified butter, (S, O, K,) smaller than the قِرْبَة; (K;) said by ISk to be like the شَكْوَة, [i. e. it is a skin of a sucking kid, (see شَكْوَةٌ, and وَطْبٌ,)] in which clarified butter is put: (S, O:) or, accord. to IAth, a round receptacle of skins, for clarified butter and honey, but more particularly for clarified butter: (TA:) pl. عَكَكٌ and عِكَاكٌ. (S, O, K.) One says of a woman, سَمِنَتْ حَتَّى صَارَتْ كَالْعُكَّةِ [She became fat so that she was like the skin of clarified butter]. (El-Jurjánee, TA.) عِكَّةٌ: see عَكَّةٌ.

عَكَّى: see عَكٌّ, last sentence.

عُكَّى The سَوِيق [or meal of what has been parched, or perhaps of what has been dried in the sun,] of the مُقْل [or fruit of the Theban palm]. (O, K.) عَكَكٌ: see عَكَّةٌ.

عِكَاكٌ: see عَكَّةٌ, in two places.

عَكِيكٌ: see عَكٌّ, in three places: and also عَكَّةٌ.

(TA.) b2: And A man contentious, disputatious, or litigious; (O, K;) difficult to be managed. (O.) إِبِلٌ مَعْكُوكَةٌ Camels confined, or kept within bounds. (S, O.)

ذا

ذَا is said by Aboo-'Alee to be originally ذَىْ; the ى, though quiescent, being changed into ا: (M:) or it is originally ذَيَى or ذَوَى; the final radical letter being elided: some say that the original medial radical letter is ى because it has been heard to be pronounced with imáleh [and so it is now pronounced in Egypt]; but others say that it is و, and this is the more agreeable with analogy. (Msb.) It is a noun of indication, [properly meaning This, but sometimes, when repeated, better rendered that,] relating to an object of the masc. gender, (S, M, K,) such as is near: (I'Ak p. 36:) or it relates to what is distant [accord. to some, and therefore should always be rendered that]; and هٰذَا, [which see in what follows,] to what is near: (K in art. هَا: [but the former is generally held to relate to what is near, like the latter:]) or it is a noun denoting anything indicated that is seen by the speaker and the person addressed: the noun in it is ذَ, or ذ alone: and it is a noun of which the signification is vague and unknown until it is explained by what follows it, as when you say ذَا الرَّجُلُ [This man], and ذَا الفَرَسَ [This horse]: and the nom. and accus. and gen. are all alike: (T:) the fem. is ذِى (T, S, M, K, but omitted in the CK) and ذِهْ, (S, M, K, but omitted in the CK,) the latter used in the case of a pause, (S,) with a quiescent ه, which is a substitute for the ى, not a sign of the fem. gender, (S, M,) as it is in طَلْحَهْ and حَمْزَهْ, in which it is changed into ة when followed by a conjunctive alif, for in this case the ه in ذِه remains unchanged [but is meksoorah, as it is also in other cases of connexion with a following word]; and one says also ذهِى; (M;) and تَا and تِهْ: (S and K &c. in art. تا:) for the dual you say ذَانِ and تَانِ; (M;) ذَانِ is the dual form of ذَا (T, S) [and تَانِ is that of تَا used in the place of ذِى]; i. e., you indicate the masc. dual by ذَانِ in the nom. case, and ذَيْنِ in the accus. and gen.; and the fem. dual you indicate by تَانِ in the nom. case, and تَيْنِ in the accus. and gen.: (I'Ak p. 36:) the pl. is أُلَآءِ [or أُلَآءِ] (T, S, and I'Ak ib.) in the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, (I'Ak,) and أُولَى [or أُلَى] (T, I'Ak) in the dial. of Temeem; each both masc. and fem. (I'Ak ib. [See art. الى.]) You say, ذَا أَخُوكَ [This is thy brother]: and ذِىأُخْتُكَ [This is thy sister]: (T:) and لَاآتِيكَ فِى ذِى السَّنَةِ [I will not come to thee in this year]; like as you say فى هٰذِهِ السَّنَةِ and فى هٰذِى السَّنَةِ; not فى ذَا السَّنَةِ, because ذا is always masc. (As, T.) And you say, ذَانِ أَخَوَاكَ [These two are thy two brothers]: and تَانِ أُخْتَاكَ [These two are thy two sisters]. (T.) and أُولَآءِ إِخْوَتُكَ [These are thy brothers]: and أُولَآءِ

أَخَوَاتُكَ [These are thy sisters]: thus making no difference between the masc. and the fem. in the pl. (T.) b2: The هَا that is used to give notice, to a person addressed, of something about to be said to him, is prefixed to ذَا [and to ذِى &c.], (T, S, M, K,) and is a particle without any meaning but inception: (T:) thus you say هٰذَا, (T, S, M,) and some say هٰذَاا, adding another ا; (Ks, T;) fem.

هٰذِى, (T, S, M,) and [more commonly] هٰذِهْ in the case of a pause, (M,) and هٰذِهِ in other cases, (T, S,) and هَاتَا, and some say هٰذَاتِ, but this is unusual and disapproved: (T:) dual هٰذَانِ for the masc., and هَاتَانِ for the fem.; (T;) said by IJ to be not properly duals, but nouns formed to denote duals; (M;) and many of the Arabs say هٰذَانِّ; (T;) some, also, make هٰذَانِ indecl., like the sing. ذَا, reading [in the Kur xx. 66] إِنَّ هٰذَانِ لَسَاحِرَانِ [Verily these two are enchanters], and it has been said that this is of the dial. of Belhárith [or Benu-l-Hárith] Ibn-Kaab; but others make it decl., reading إِنَّ هٰذَايْنِ لَسَاحِرَانِ: (S, TA: [see, however, what has been said respecting this phrase voce إِنَّ:]) the pl. is هٰؤُلَا in the dial. of Temeem, with a quiescent ا; and هٰؤُلَآءِ in the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, with medd and hemz and khafd; and هٰؤُلَآءٍ in the dial. of Benoo-'Okeyl, with medd and hemz and tenween. (Az, T.) The Arabs also say, لَا هَا اللّٰهِ ذَا, introducing the name of God between هَا and ذَا; meaning No, by God; this is [my oath, or] that by which I swear. (T.) In the following verse, of Jemeel, وَأَتَى صَوَاحِبُهَا فَقُلْنَ هٰذَا الَّذِى

مَنَحَ المَوَدَّةَ غَيْرَنَا وَجَفَانَا [it is said that] هَذَا is for أَذَا, (M,) i. e., ه is here substituted for the interrogative hemzeh (S * and K in art. ها) [so that the meaning is, And her female companions came, and said, Is this he who gave love to other than us, and treated us unkindly?]: or, as some assert, هَذَا is here used for هٰذَا, the ا being suppressed for the sake of the measure. (El-Bedr El-Karáfee, TA in art. ها.) b3: One says also ذَاكَ, (T, S, M, K,) affixing to ذَا the ك of allocution, [q. v., meaning That,] relating to an object that is distant, (T, *, S, and I'Ak p. 36,) or, accord. to general opinion, to that which occupies a middle place between the near and the distant, (I'Ak pp. 36 and 37,) and this ك has no place in desinential syntax; (S, and I'Ak p. 36;) it does not occupy the place of a gen. nor of an accus., but is only affixed to ذا to denote the distance of ذا from the person addressed: (T:) for the fem. you say تِيكَ (T, S) and تَاكَ; (S and K in art. تا, q. v.;) but not ذِيكَ, for this is wrong, (T, S,) and is used only by the vulgar: (T:) for the dual you say ذَانِكَ (T, S) and ذَيْنِكَ, as in the phrases جَآءَنِى ذَانِكَ الرَّجُلَانِ [Those two men came to me] and رَأَيْتُ ذَيْنُكَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ, [I saw those two men]; (S;) and some say ذَانِّكَ, with teshdeed, (T, S,) [accord. to J] for the purpose of corroboration, and to add to the letters of the noun, (S,) but [accord. to others] this is dual of ذٰلِكَ, [which see in what follows,] the second ن being a substitute for the ل; (T on the authority of Zj and others;) and some say تَانِّكَ also, with tesh-deed, (T, S,) as well as تَانِكَ: (T in this art., and S and K in art. تا, but there omitted in some copies of the S:) the pl. is [أُولَاكَ and] أُولٰئِكَ. (T, S.) هَا is also prefixed to ذَاكَ; so that you say, هٰذَاكَ زَيْدٌ [That is Zeyd]: (S, TA:) and in like manner, for the fem., you say هَاتِيكَ and هَاتَاكَ: (S and K in art. تا:) but it is not prefixed [to the dual nor] to أُولٰئِكَ. (S.) b4: You also add ل in ذَاكَ, (T, S, M, K,) as a corroborative; (TA;) so that you say ذٰلِكَ, [meaning That,] (T, S, M, K,) relating to an object that is distant, by common consent; (I'Ak pp. 36 and 37;) or hemzeh, saying ذَائِكَ, (K,) but some say that this is a mispronunciation: (TA in art. ذوى:) for the fem. you say تِلْكَ and تَالِكَ: the dual of ذٰلِكَ is ذَانِّكَ, mentioned above; and that of the fem. is ثَانِّكَ: (T: [and in the K in art. تا, تَالِكَ is also mentioned as a dual, as well as a sing.:]) and the pl. is أُولَالِكَ. (S and M and K voce أُولَى or أُلَى or أُلَا. [See art. الى.]) هَا is not prefixed to ذٰلِكَ (S) nor to تِلْكَ [nor to أُولَالِكَ] because, as IB says, the ل denotes the remoteness of that which is indicated and the ها denotes its nearness, so that the two are incompatible. (TA in art. تا.) b5: In the saying in the Kur [ii. 256, the Verse of the Throne], مَنْ ذَا الَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ, (T, TA,) accord. to Th and Mbr, (TA,) هٰذَا is syn. with ذا [so that the meaning is, Who is this that shall intercede with Him but by his permission?]: (T, TA:) or it may be here redundant [so that the meaning is, Who is he that &c.?]. (Kull.) b6: It is sometimes syn. with اَلَّذِى. (T, S, M.) So in the saying, مَا ذَا رَأَيْتَ [What is it that thou sawest?]; to which one may answer, مَتَاعٌ حَسَنٌ [A goodly commodity]. (Sb, S.) and so in the Kur [ii. 220 (erroneously stated as 216 in Lane's original)], وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا يُنْفِقُونَ[And they ask thee what amount of their property is it that they shall expend in alms]; (T, M, TA;) accord. to those who make the reply to be in the nom. case; for this shows that ما is [virtually] in the nom. case as an inchoative, and ذا is its enunciative, and ينفقون is the complement of ذا; and that ما and ذا are not to be regarded as one word: [or] this is the preferable way of explanation in the opinion of Sb, though he allowed the other way, [that of regarding ما and ذا as one word, together constituting an inchoative, and ينفقون as its enunciative, (see Ham p. 521,)] with [the reply in] the nom. case: (M:) and هٰذَا, also, is used in the same sense: (TA:) so too ذا in مَا ذَا هُوَ and مَنْ ذَا هُوَ may be considered as syn. with الذى; but it is preferable to regard it as redundant. (Kull.) b7: It is [said to be] redundant also in other instances: for ex., in the trad. of Jereer, as related by Aboo-'Amr Ez-Záhid, who says that it is so in this instance: يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ذِى يَمَنٍ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مَسْحَةٌ مِنْ ذِى مُلْكٍ

[There will come to you a man from El-Yemen, having upon his face an indication of dominion]. (TA. [But this evidently belongs to art. ذُو; in which see a similar ex. (أَتَيْنَا ذَا يَمَنٍ). See also other exs. there.]) b8: [كَذَا lit. means Like this: and hence, thus: as also هٰكَذَا. b9: It is also often used as one word, and, as such, is made the complement of a prefixed noun; as in سَنَةَ كَذَا and فِى سَنَةِ كَذَا In such a year. See also art. كَذَا: and see the letter ك.] b10: هٰذَا is sometimes used to express contempt, and mean estimation; as in the saying of 'Áïsheh respecting 'Abd-Allah Ibn-'Amr Ibn-'Abbás, يَا عَجَبًا لِابْنِ عَمْرٍو هٰذَا [O wonder (meaning how I wonder) at Ibn-'Amr, this fellow!]. (Kitáb el-Miftáh, cited in De Sacy's “ Gram. Ar.,” 2nd ed., i. 442.) [يَا هٰذَا often occurs as addressed to one who is held in mean estimation: it is like the Greek ὦ οὗτος, and virtually like the vulgar Arabic expression يَا أَنْتَ, and the Latin heus tu; agreeably with which it may be rendered O thou; meaning O thou fellow; an appellation denoting mean estimation being understood: in the contrary case, one says يَا فَتَى.

See also, in what follows, a usage of ذَاكَ and ذٰلِكَ. b11: هٰذَا in a letter and the like is introduced when the writer breaks off, turning to a new subject; and means “ This is all that I had to say on the subject to which, it relates: ” what follows it is commenced with the conjunction وَ.] b12: One says, لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ [and لَيْسَ بِذٰلِكَ], meaning It is not approved: for, [like as a person held in mean estimation is indicated by هٰذَا, which denotes a thing that is near, so,] on account of its high degree of estimation, a thing that is approved is indicated by that whereby one indicates a thing that is remote. (Kull voce ليس.) [See also what next follows.] b13: ذٰلِكَ الكِتَابُ in the Kur ii. 1 is said by Zj to mean هٰذَا الكِتَابُ [This book]: but others say that ذلك is here used because the book is remote [from others] in respect of highness and greatness of rank. (TA.) b14: كَذٰلِكَ [lit. Like that, often means so, or in like manner: and b15: ] Let that suffice [thee or] you. (TA in art. ذعر, from a trad.) b16: The dim. of ذَا is ذَيَّا: (T, S, M:) you form no dim. of the fem. ذِى, using in its stead that of تَا, (S,) which is تَيَّا: (T:) the dim. of the dual [ذَانِ] is ذَيَّانِ: (S:) and that of [the pl.] أُولَآءِ [and أُولَى] is أُــولَيَّــآءِ [and أُــولَيَّــا]: (T:) b17: that of هٰذَا is ذَيَّا, like that of ذَا; [and you may say هٰذَيَّا also; for] that of هٰؤُلَآءِ is هٰؤُلَيَّآءِ: (T:) b18: that of ذَاكَ is ذَيَّاكَ: (S, K: *) and that of تَاكَ is تَيَّاكَ: (K in art. تا:) b19: that of ذٰلِكَ is ذَيَّالِكَ: (S, K: *) and that of تِلْكَ is تَيَّالِكَ. (S.) A rájiz says, أَوْ تَحْلِفِى بِرَبِّكَ العَلِىِّ

إِنِّى أَبُو ذَيَّالِكِ الصَّبِىِّ [Or thou shalt swear by thy Lord, the High, that I am the father of that little child]: (S, TA:) he was an Arab who came from a journey, and found that his wife had given birth to a boy whom he disacknowledged. (TA.) A2: ذَا is also the accus. case of ذُو, q. v.

عز

1 عَزَّ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عِزٌّ (Az, S, A, O, Msb, K) and عِزَّةٌ, (Az, S, K,) or the latter is a simple subst., (Msb,) and عَزَازَةٌ, (S, K,) He was, or became, mighty, potent, powerful, or strong; (TA, in explanation of عِزٌّ;) and so ↓ تعزّز; or the latter signifies he made himself so; he strengthened himself; syn. تَقَوَّى: (Msb:) and the former, he became so after being low, or mean, in condition; (Az, S, A, K;) as also عَزَّ, sec.

[عَزَّ وَجَلَّ, referring to the name of God expressed or understood, is a phrase of frequent occurrence, meaning, To Him, or to Whom, belong might and majesty, or glory and greatness.] b2: You also say, عَزَزْتُ عَلَيْهِ, (S, O, K,) aor. ـِ (O, K,) meaning, كَرُمْتُ عَلَيْهِ, (S, O, K, *) i. e., I exceeded him in nobleness, or generosity. (TK.) b3: And عَزَّ, [aor. ـِ inf. n. عِزٌّ and عِزَّةٌ and app. عَزَازَةٌ also,] He magnified, or exalted, himself: (TA:) (assumed tropical:) he was disdainful, scornful, or indignant, in a blamable manner. (TA, in explanation of عِزَّةٌ; q. v. infrà.) [See also 5.] b4: He resisted, or withstood: (TA, in explanation of عِزٌّ:) he was indomitable, invincible; not to be overcome. (B and TA, in explanation of عِزَّةٌ, q. v. infrà.)

(Msb.) b5: And عَزَّ, (S, O, K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. عِزٌّ and عِزَّةٌ and عَزَازَةٌ, (S, O,) It (a thing, S, O, K, meaning anything, TA) was, or became, rare, scarce, hardly to be found. (S, O, K.) b6: [and hence, He, or it, was, or became, dear, highly esteemed, or greatly valued..] b7: عَزَّ عَلَىَّ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (Mgh, O, Msb, K) and عَزَّ (Fr, Mgh, O, K,) [the second Pers\. of the pret. being عَزَزْتَ and عَزِزْتَ,] the latter aor. the more chaste, (O,) means Thy doing so distressed, or hath distressed, or afflicted, me; or, emphatically, distresses, or afflicts, me; syn. اِشْتَدَّ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA,) and حَقَّ, (S, O, K, TA,) and شَقَّ: (TA:) a phrase [often, but not always,] alluding to a loathing of the action, or indignation thereat. (Msb.) In like manner also you say, عَزَّ عَلَىَّ كَذَا Such a thing distressed, or afflicted, me. (S.) And عَزَّ عَلَىَّ أَنْ

أَسُوْءَكَ It distressed, or afflicted, me to displease thee. (A.) And عَزَّ مَا أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ, like حَقَّ أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ [or حَقَّ مَا انّك ذاهب, meaning It is distressing that thou art going away]. (TA.) And one says to a man, Dost thou love me? and he replies, لَعَزَّ مَا, i. e., لَشَدَّ مَا, (A, O, K,) and لَحَقَّ مَا, (A, TA,) meaning It distresses me, what thou sayest; or it has distressed me. (TK.) You say also, بِمَا أَصَابَكَ ↓ أُعْزِزْتُ I was, or am, distressed by what befell, or hath befallen, thee. (S, O, K.) And عَلَىَّ بِمَا أُصِبْتَ بِهِ ↓ أَعْزِزْ That by which thou hast been afflicted distresses me: (S, O:) [or how doth it distress me!] so in a trad. of 'Alee; when he beheld Talhah slain, he said, عَلَىَّ ↓ أَعْزِزْ

أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَنْ أَرَاكَ مُجَدَّلًا تَحْتَ نُجُومِ السَّمَآءِ [It distresses me, or how doth it distress me! O Aboo-Mohammad, that I see thee prostrated upon the ground beneath the stars of heaven]. (TA.) [A similar ex. is given in the A; without بِ prefixed to أَنْ.]

A2: عَزَّ also signifies He was, or became, weak: thus having two contr. meanings. (Msb.) A3: عَزَّهُ, aor. ـُ (S, A, O, K,) inf. n. عَزٌّ, (S, O, TA,) He overcame him, or conquered him: (S, A, O:) he overcame him in argumentative contest; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ عَزْعَزَهُ, (K,) inf. n. عَزْعَزَةٌ; (TA;) and so عَزَّهُ فِى الخِطَابِ: (Jel in xxxviii.

22, and TA:) or this last signifies he became stronger than he therein; (TA;) or he strove with him to overcome therein; as also فِيهِ ↓ عازّهُ, (S, K,) inf. n. مُعَازَّةٌ: (O, TA:) in the Kur xxxviii.

22, some read عَزَّنِى; and others, ↓ عَازَّنِى: and you say, فَعَزَزْتُهُ ↓ عَازَّنِى, meaning, he strove with me to overcome, and I overcame him: and مُعَازَّةٌ signifies the contending together in argument: (TA:) you say also of a horse, فَارِسَهُ ↓ اعتزّ [he overcame his rider, or gained the mastery over him]. (S and K in art. جمع.) It is said in a prov., (S,) مَنْ عَزَّ بَزَّ He who overcomes takes the spoil. (S, A, O, K.) And in another prov., (S,) إِذَا عَزَّ أَخُوكَ فَهُنْ (Th, S, O, K) When thy brother overcomes thee, and thou art not equal to him (لَمْ تُقَاومْهُ) be thou gentle to him: (Az, O, K, TA:) or when thy brother magnifies and exalts himself against thee, abase thyself: (Th, TA:) or, accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, what Th says is a mistake; the right reading being فَهِنْ, with kesr, and the meaning, when thy brother is hard, or severe, to thee, treat thou him with gentleness, or blandishment; not فَهُنْ, with damm, which is from الهَوَانُ: but ISd approves and justifies the reading given by Th. (TA.) [See also 10.]

A4: عَزَّهُ. aor. ـُ inf. n. عَزٌّ, also signifies the same as عَزَّزَهُ (Msb, TA *) and أَعَزَّهُ, (TA,) in a sense pointed out below: see 2, in two places.

(IKh, TA in art. لب.) 2 عزّزهُ, (inf. n. تَعْزِيزٌ, TA,) He rendered him mighty, potent, powerful, or strong; he strengthened him; (S, Msb, TA;) بِآخَرَ by, or by means of, another; (Msb;) as also ↓ عَزَّهُ, (S, Msb, TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. عَزٌّ; (Msb;) and ↓ اعزّهُ: (O, TA:) the agent is God, (S, TA,) and a man: (Msb, TA:) He (God, S, TA) rendered him mighty, potent, powerful, or strong, after he had been low, or mean, in condition; (K, TA;) as also ↓ اعزّهُ [which is the more common in this sense, and as signifying He rendered him high, or elevated, in rank or condition or state, or noble, honourable, glorious, or illustrious]. (S, K, TA.) In the Kur [xxxvi. 13], some read, فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ; (S, TA;) and others, بثالث ↓ فَعَزَزْنَا; meaning And then we strengthened [them] by a third. (S, O, TA.) [See also an explanation of a verse cited voce عَزَآءٌ in art. عزى.]

[It is sometimes changed to تعزّى.] It is said in a trad., مَنْ لَمْ يَتَعَزَّ بِعِزِّ اللّٰهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا [Such as does not strengthen himself by the strength of God, he is not of us]; expl. by Th as meaning he who does not refer his affair to God is not of us. (TA. [See another reading voce تَعَزَّى, in art. عزى.]) You say also, تَعَزَّيْتُ عَنْهُ, meaning I constrained myself to endure the loss, or want, of him, or it, with patience; originally تَعَزَّزْتُ, meaning, I exerted my strength or energy [to divert myself from him, or it]; like تَظَنَّيْتُ for تَظَنَّنْتُ. (TA.) [But see art. عزى.] b2: He magnified and hardened himself; he behaved in a proud and hard manner, towards others.

بِعِزِّى لَقَدْ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا, and بِعِزِّكَ, [By my might, &c., and by thy might, &c., such and such things have happened,] like لَعَمْرِى and لَعَمْرُكَ, are bad phrases of the people of Esh-Shihr.

[See 1, last sentence.]) عَزَازٌ Hard ground: (S, O, K:) or hard, rugged ground, but only in the borders of a tract of land: (TA:) or a hard place, that quickly flows [with rain]; (Kzz, TA;) as also ↓ عَزَزٌ: (TA:) or, accord. to ISh, rugged ground, upon which the rain quickly flows, in plains, and [particularly] such as are bare or barren, and the acclivities of mountains and [hills or eminences such as are termed] آكَام, and the elevated parts (ظُهُور) of [the high grounds termed] قِفَاف. (TA.) A2: See also عَزَزٌ.

عَزُوزٌ Narrow in the orifices of the teats; (S, A, O, K;) applied to a she-camel, (S, O, K,) and to a ewe, (O,) and to a she-goat. (TA.) One says of a niggardly man possessing much property, فُلَانٌ عَنْزٌ عَزُوزٌ لَهَا دَرٌّ جَمٌّ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one is like a she-goat narrow in the orifices of the teats, that has much milk].

(TA.) b2: ↓ مَلِكٌ أَعَزُّ signifies the same as عَزِيزٌ [A mighty, potent, powerful, or strong, King; or a glorious King]. (TA.) And El-Farezdak says, إِنَّ الَّذِى سَمَكَ السَّمَآءَ بَنَى لَنَا وَأَطْوَلُ ↓ بَيْتًا دَعَائِمُهُ أَعَرُّ [Verily He who raised the heaven built for us a tent of which the props are strong and tall]: meaning, عَزِيرَةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ: like the phrase in the Kur [xxx. 26], وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ [meaning هَيِّنٌ]: not implying excess, accord. to ISd, because اَلْ and مِنْ supply each other's places [and one or the other of these, or a noun in the gen. case expressed or understood after the epithet, is necessary to denote excess: see أَكْبَرُ]. (TA.) b3: العَزِيزُ, as a name of God, signifies The Mighty, (TA,) who overcomes (O, TA) everything: (TA:) or He who resists, or withstands, so that nothing overcomes Him: (Zj, TA:) or The Incomparable, or Unparalleled.

(TA.) b5: وَإِنَّهُ لَكِتَابٌ عَزِيزٌ, [said of the Kur, in that book, xli. 41, means And verily it is a mighty book: meaning, inimitable: or] defended, or protected, (Bd, Jel,) from being rendered void and from being corrupted: (Bd:) or of great utility; unequalled. (Bd.) [الكِتَابُ العَزِيزُ The mighty book, is an appellation often given to the Kur-án.] b6: عِزُّ عَزِيزٌ signifies Great might, or the like: or might, or the like, that is a cause of the same to a person. (TA.) b7: It is said in the Kur [v. 59], فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِى اللّٰهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى

المُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ, meaning, [God will bring a people whom He will love and who will love Him,] gentle to the believers, rough in manners, or behaviour, to the unbelievers: (TA:) or submissive to the believers, though they be [themselves] mighty, or noble, proud to the unbelievers, though they be [themselves] inferior to them in highness of rank and in grounds of pretension to respect.

أَنْ يُضَامَ: expl. voce اَلْ (p. 75). And هُوَ عَزِيزُ النَّفْسِ: see صُلْبٌ. And اِمْرَأَةٌ عَزِيزَةٌ عَنْدَ نَفْسِهَا: see ظَلِفٌ. b9: عَزِيزٌ also signifies Severe, difficult, distressing, or grievous; (see an ex. voce عَنِتَ;) and so ↓ أَعَزُّ, fem. عَزَّآءُ:] you say, سَنَةٌ عَزَّآءُ A severe year: (S, O, K:) and مَنْ حَسُنَ مِنْهُ العَزَآءُ هَآنَتْ عَلَيْهِ العَزَّآءُ [He whose patient endurance of a loss is of a good description, what is difficult, or distressing, becomes easy to him]. (A.) A2: حَبُّ العَزِيزِ [The small tubercles that compose the root of the cyperus esculentus, which have a sweet and pleasant taste, and which women eat with the view of acquiring fatness thereby: and also that plant itself: both are thus called in the present day]. (TA voce سُقَّيْطٌ, &c.) عَزَازَةٌ A small water-course of a valley, shorter than a مِذْنَب [q. v.]. (AA, TA.) b2: See also مَعْزُوزَةٌ.

عَزِيزَةٌ [fem. of عَزِيزٌ, q. v. b2: Also] An eagle: so in a verse of Aboo-Kebeer El-Hudhalee: but as some relate that verse, it is عَزِيبَة, (K, TA,) i. e. “ that has gone far from the seeker: ” (TA:) or غَرِيبَة, (TA, and thus in the CK,) expl. by Skr as meaning “ black ” (سَوْدَآء) [as though for غِرْبِيبَة, fem. of غِربِيب: but the word سَوْدَآء immediately follows it in that verse]. (TA.) عُزَيْزَى and عُزَيْزَآءُ The extremity of the hip, or haunch, of a horse: (S, O, K, TA:) or the part between the root of the tail and the جَاعِرَة [q. v.]; (TA as from the K [in which I do not find it]): or the former, a sinew inserted in the rectum, extending to the hip, or haunch: (Aboo-Málik, TA:) dual of the former عُزَيْزَيَانِ, and of the latter عُزَيْزَاوَانِ. (S, O, TA.) عُزَّى: see أَعَزُّ, in four places: and عَزِيزٌ.

عَزَّآءُ [fem. of أَعَزُّ, q. v., last sentence: b2: and] i. q. مَعْزُوزَةٌ, q. v. (TA.) أَعَزُّ [More, and most, mighty, potent, powerful, or strong: &c.: see عَزِيزٌ, of which it is the comparative and superlative form: and see an ex. voce اَلْ (p. 75): and another in a verse cited in art. صب, conj. 6]. It is related in a trad. of Aboo-Bekr, that he said to 'Áïsheh, إِنَّ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ غَنًى أَنْتِ وَأَعَزُّهُمْ فَقْرًا أَنْتِ, meaning. Verily the one of mankind whose richness is most pleasing to me art thou; and the one of them whose poverty is most distressing to me art thou. (Mgh.) The fem. of أَعَزُّ [as a noun of excess] is ↓ عُزَّى: (S, ISd, O, K;) like as فُضْلَى is of أَفْضَلُ. (ISd.) [But see what follows.] b2: ↓ العُزَّى

was the name of A certain idol, (S, O, K,) belonging to Kureysh and Benoo-Kináneh: (S, O, TA:) or a certain gum-acacia-tree, (سَمُرَةٌ,) which the tribe of Ghatafán (S, O, K) the son of Saad the son of Keys-'Eilán (TA) used to worship; (S, O, K;) the first who took it as an object of worship was Dhálim the son of As' ad; above Dhát-'Irk, nine miles towards El-Bustán, (O, K, TA,) at [the valley called] En-Nakhleh Esh-Shámeeyeh, (O, TA,) near Mekkeh; or, as some say, at Et-Táïf: (TA:) he, (K,) Dhálim, (O,) or they, (S,) built over it a house, (S, O, K) and named it بُسّ, (O, K,) accord. to Ibn-El-Kelbee; or, accord. to others, بُسَّآء; (TA;) and they appointed to it ministers, (S, TA,) like those of the Kaabeh; (TA;) and they used to hear in it a voice: (O, K, TA:) but Mohammad sent to it Khálid Ibn-El-Weleed, (S, O, K,) in the year of the conquest [of Mekkeh], (O, TA,) and he demolished the house, (S, K,) and slew the [chief] minister, (TA,) and burned the gum-acacia-tree: (S, O, K:) or, as is related on the authority of I'Ab, a certain she-devil, who used to come to three gumacacia-trees (سَمُرَات) in Batn-Nakhleh, against whom Mohammad, when he conquered Mekkeh, sent Khálid Ibn-El-Weleed; and he cut down the trees, and slew her and her minister. (TA.) A poet says, أَمَا وَدِمَآءٍ مَائِرَاتٍ تَخَالُهَا عَلَى قُنَّةِ العُزَّى وَبِالنَّسْرِ عَنْدَمَا [Verily, or now surely, by bloods flowing, and running hither and thither, which thou wouldst think to be dragon's-blood, upon the mountain-top of El-' Ozzà, and by En-Nesr]. (S.) ISd says, I hold ↓ العُزَّى to be fem. of الأَعَزُّ; and if so, the ال in the former is not redundant, but is like the ال in الحَارِثُ and العَبَّاسُ: but properly it should be redundant, because we have not heard العُزَّى as an epithet [of excess] like as we have heard الصُّغْرَى and الكُبْرَى. (L, TA.) b3: ↓ عُزَّى is [however] used in the sense of عَزِيزَةٌ: (K, TA:) and أَعَزُّ [fem. عَزَّآءُ] is also syn. with عَزِيزٌ, which see in four places. (S, K.) المُعِزُّ, as a name of God, He who giveth عِزّ [or might, &c.] to whomsoever He will, of his servants. (TA.) مَعَزَّةٌ [accord. to analogy signifies A cause, or means, of عِزّ i. e. might, &c.]: see ظَفَارِ.

إِنَّكُمْ مُعَزَّزٌ بِكُمْ Verily ye are treated with hardness, severity, or rigour; not with indulgence. (S, O, TA.) From a trad. of Ibn-'Omar. (O, TA.) فُلَانٌ مِعْزَازٌ المَرَضِ Such a one is in a severe state of disease. (S, O, K.) مَعْزُوزَةٌ, applied to land, or ground, (أَرْضٌ, S, O,) Hard, or firm; syn. شَدِيدَةٌ. (S, O, K.) b2: And, so applied, Rained upon (O, K, TA) by rain such as is termed عِزّ, and rendered compact, or coherent, and hard; as also ↓ عَزَازَةٌ and ↓ عَزَّآءُ. (TA.) مُعْتَزٌّ is syn. with مُسْتَعِزٌّ. (TA.) You say, أَنَا مُعْتَزٌّ بِبَنِى فُلَانٍ and بِهِمْ ↓ مُسْتَعِزٌّ [I reckon myself strong by means of the sons of such a one]. (A.) b2: فَرَسٌ مُعْتَزَّةٌ A mare having thick and strong flesh. (TA.) مُسْتَعِزٌّ :see the next preceding paragraph.

قال: رأيت طائفة يعتقدون في أنفسهم التميز عن الأتراب والنظراء، بمزيد الفطنة والذكاء، قد رفضوا وظائف الإسلام من العبادات، واستحقروا شعائر الدين من وظائف الصلوات، والتوقي عن المحظورات، واستهانوا بتعبدات الشرع وحدوده، ولم يقفوا عند توفيقاته وقيوده، بل خلعوا بالكلية ربقة الدين، بفنون من الظنون.
يتبعون فيها رهطاً يصدون عن سبيل الله، ويبغونها عوجاً، وهم بالآخرة هم كافرون، ولا مستند لكفرهم غير تقليد سماعي، ألفي كتقليد اليهود والنصارى.
إذ جرى على غير دين الإسلام نشؤهم وأولادهم، وعليه درج آباؤهم وأجدادهم، لا عن بحث نظري، بل تقليد صادر عن التعثر بأذيال الشبه الصارفة عن صوب الصواب، والانخداع بالخيالات المزخرفة كلا مع السراب.
كما اتفق لطوائف من النظار في البحث عن العقائد والآراء من أهل البدع والأهواء، وإنما مصدر كفرهم سماعهم أسامي هائلة كسقراط وبقراط وأفلاطون وأرسطاطاليس وأمثالهم، وإطناب طوائف من متبعيهم وضلالهم في وصف عقولهم، وحسن أصولهم، ودقة علومهم الهندسية، والمنطقية، والطبيعية، والإلهية، واستبدادهم لفرط الذكاء والفطنة، باستخراج تلك الأمور الخفية.
وحكايتهم عنهم أنهم مع رزانة عقلهم، وغزارة فضلهم، منكرون للشرائع والنحل، وجاحدون لتفاصيل الأديان والملل، ومعتقدون أنها نواميس مؤلفة، وحيل مزخرفة.
فلما قرع ذلك سمعهم، ووافق ما حكى من عقائدهم طبعهم، تجملوا باعتقاد الكفر، تحيزاً إلى غمار الفضلاء بزعمهم، وانخراطاً في سلكهم، وترفعاً عن مساعدة الجماهير والدهماء، واستنكافاً من القناعة بأديان الآباء ظناً بأن إظهار التكايس في النزوع عن تقليد الحق بالشروع في تقليد الباطل جمال وغفلة منهم، عن أن الانتقال إلى تقليد عن تقليد خرف وخبال.
فأية رتبة في عالم الله سبحانه وتعالى أخس من رتبة من يتجمل بترك الحق، المعتقد تقليداً بالتسارع إلى قبول الباطل، تصديقاً دون أن يقبله خبراً وتحقيقاً.
فلما رأيت هذا العرق من الحماقة نابضاً على هؤلاء الأغبياء، ابتدأت لتحرير هذا الكتاب، رداً على الفلاسفة القدماء، مبيناً تهافت عقيدتهم، وتناقض كلمتهم، فيما يتعلق بالإلهيات، وكاشفاً عن غوائل مذهبهم، وعوراته التي هي على التحقيق مضاحك العقلاء، وعبرة عند الأذكياء.
أعني: ما اختصوا به عن الجماهير والدهماء، من فنون العقائد والآراء، هذا مع حكاية مذهبهم على وجهه.
ثم صدر الكتاب بمقدمات أربع:
ذكر في الأولى: أن الخوض في حكاية اختلاف الفلاسفة تطويل، فإن خبطهم طويل، ونزاعهم كثير، وأنه يقتصر على إظهار التناقض في الرأي.
مقدمهم الذي هو المعلم الأول، والفيلسوف المطلق، فإنه رتب علومهم وهذبها، وهو: أرسطاطاليس وقد رد على كل من قبله حتى على أستاذه أفلاطون فلا إيقان لمذهبهم، بل يحكمون بظن وتخمين، ويستدلون على صدق علومهم الإلهية، بظهور العلوم الحسابية، والمنطقية، متقنة البراهين، ويستدرجون ضعفاء العقول، ولو كانت علومهم الإلهية متقنة البراهين، لما اختلفوا فيها، كما لم يختلفوا في الحسابية.
ثم المترجمون لكلام أرسطو لم ينفك كلامهم عن تحريف وتبديل.
وأقومهم بالنقل من المتفلسفة الإسلامية:
أبو نصر الفارابي، وابن سينا.
وأنه يقتصر على إبطال ما اختاروه، ورأوه الصحيح من مذهب رؤسائهم.
وعلى رد مذاهبهم بحسب نقل هذين الرجلين كيلا ينتشر الكلام.
وذكر في الثانية:
أن الخلاف بينهم وبين غيرهم ثلاثة أقسام:
الأول: يرجع النزاع فيه إلى لفظ مجرد، كتسميتهم صانع العالم جوهراً مع تفسيرهم الجوهر: بأنه الموجود لا في موضوع، ولم يريدوا به الجوهر المتحيز.
قال: ولسنا نخوض في إبطال هذا، لأن معنى القيام بالنفس إذا صار متفقاً عليه، رجع الكلام في التعبير باسم الجوهر عن هذا المعنى إلى البحث عن اللغة.
وإن سوغ إطلاقه، رجع جواز إطلاقه في الشرع إلى المباحث الفقهية.
الثاني: ما لا يصدم مذهبهم فيه أصلاً من أصول الدين، وليــس من ضرورة تصديق الأنبياء والرسل منازعتهم فيه، كقولهم: إن كسوف القمر، عبارة عن انمحاء ضوء القمر بتوسط الأرض بينه وبين الشمس، والأرض كرة والسماء محيطة بها من الجوانب، وإن كسوف الشمس، وقوف جرم القمر بين الناظر وبين الشمس عند اجتماعهما في العقيدتين على دقيقة واحدة.
قال: وهذا المعنى أيضاً لسنا نخوض في إبطاله إذ لا يتعلق به غرض ومن ظن أن المناظرة فيه من الدين فقد جنى على الدين، وضعف أمره، فإن هذه الأمور تقوم عليها براهين هندسية، لا تبقى معها ريبة، فمن يطلع عليها، ويتحقق أدلتها، حتى يخبر بسببها عن وقت الكسوفين، وقدرهما، ومدة بقائهما، إلى الانجلاء.
إذا قيل له: إن هذا على خلاف الشرع لم يسترب فيه، وإنما يستريب في الشرع، وضرر الشرع ممن ينصره لا بطريقه أكثر من ضرره ممن يطعن فيه بطريقة، وهو كما قيل: عدو عاقل، خير من صديق جاهل.
وليــس في الشرع ما يناقض ما قالوه، ولو كان تأويله أهون من مكابرة أمور قطعية، فكم من ظواهر أولت بالأدلة القطعية التي لا تنتهي في الوضوح إلى هذا الحد، وأعظم ما يفرح به الملحدة، أن يصرح ناصر الشرع بأن هذا، وأمثاله على خلاف الشرع، فيسهل عليه طريق إبطال الشرع.
وهذا: لأن البحث في العالم عن كونه حادثاً أو قديماً، ثم إذا ثبت حدوثه فسواء كان كرة، أو بسيطاً، أو مثمناً، وسواء كانت السماوات، وما تحتها ثلاثة عشرة طبقة، كما قالوه، أو أقل، أو أكثر، فالمقصود: كونه من فعل الله سبحانه وتعالى فقط، كيف ما كان.
الثالث: ما يتعلق النزاع فيه بأصل من أصول الدين، كالقول في حدوث العالم، وصفات الصانع، وبيان حشر الأجساد، وقد أنكروا جميع ذلك فينبغي أن يظهر فساد مذهبهم.
وذكر في الثالثة: أن مقصوده تنبيه من حسن اعتقاده في الفلاسفة، وظن أن مسالكهم نقية عن التناقض ببيان وجوه تهافتهم.
فلذلك لا يدخل في الاعتراض عليهم إلا دخول مطالب منكر، لا دخول مدع مثبت.
فيكدر عليهم ما اعتقدوه مقطوعاً بإلزامات مختلفة، وربما ألزمهم بمذاهب الفرق.
وذكر في الرابعة: أن من عظم حيلهم في الاستدراج إذا أورد عليهم إشكال قولهم: أن العلوم الإلهية غامضة، خفية، لا يتوصل إلى معرفة الجواب عن هذه الإشكالات، إلا بتقديم الرياضيات، والمنطقيات.
فيمن يقلدهم إن خطر له إشكال، يحسن الظن بهم، ويقول: إنما يعسر على درك علومهم لأني لم أحصل الرياضيات ولم أحكم المنطقيات.
قال: أما الرياضيات، فلا تعلق للإلهيات بها.
وأما الهندسيات، فلا يحتاج إليها في الإلهيات، نعم قولهم: إن المنطقيات لا بد من إحكامها فهو صحيح، ولكن المنطق ليس مخصوماً بهم، وإنما هو الأصل الذي نسميه: كتاب الجدل، وقد نسميه: مدارك العقول.
فإذا سمع المتكايس اسم المنطق، ظن أنه فن غريب، لا يعرفه المتكلمون، ولا يطلع عليه الفلاسفة.
ثم ذكر بعد المقدمات، المسائل التي أظهر تناقض مذهبهم فيها، وهي عشرون مسألة:
الأولى: في أوليــة العالم.
الثانية: في أبدية العالم.
الثالثة: في بيان تلبسهم في قولهم: أن الله سبحانه وتعالى صانع العالم، وأن العالم صنعه.
الرابعة: في تعجيزهم عن إثبات الصانع.
الخامسة: في تعجيزهم عن إقامة الدليل على استحالة الهين.
السادسة: في نفي الصفات.
السابعة: في قولهم: إن ذات الأول لا ينقسم بالجنس والفصل.
الثامنة: في قولهم: إن الأول موجود بسيط بلا ماهية.
التاسعة: في تعجيزهم، عن بيان إثبات أن الأول ليس بجسم.
العاشرة: في تعجيزهم، عن إقامة الدليل على أن للعالم صانعاً، وعلة.
الحادية عشرة: في تعجيزهم عن القول: بأن الأول يعلم غيره.
الثانية عشرة: في تعجيزهم عن القول: بأن الأول يعلم ذاته.
الثالثة عشرة: في إبطال قولهم: أن الأول لا يعلم الجزئيات.
الرابعة عشرة: في إبطال قولهم: أن السماء حيوان متحرك بالإرادة.
الخامسة عشرة: فيما ذكروه من العرض المحرك للسماء.
السادسة عشرة: في قولهم: أن نفوس السماوات، تعلم جميع الجزئيات الحادثة في هذا العالم.
السابعة عشرة: في قولهم: باستحالة خرق العادات.
الثامنة عشرة: في تعجيزهم عن إقامة البرهان العقلي، على أن النفس الإنساني جوهر روحاني.
التاسعة عشرة: في قولهم: باستحالة الفناء على النفوس البشرية.
العشرون: في إبطال إنكارهم البعث، وحشر الأجساد، مع التلذذ والتألم بالجنة والنار، بالآلام واللذات الجسمانية.
هذا ما ذكره من المسائل، التي تناقض فيها كلامهم، من جملة علومهم، ففصلها، وأبطل مذاهبهم فيها إلى آخر الكتاب.
وهذا معنى التهافت، لخصتها من أول كتابه، لكونها مما يجب معرفته.
وقال في آخر خاتمته: فإن قال قائل: قد فصلتم مذاهب هؤلاء، أفتقطعون القول بكفرهم؟
قلنا: بكفرهم، لا بد منه، لا بد من كفرهم، في ثلاث مسائل:
الأولى: مسألة قدم العالم، وقولهم: إن الجواهر كلها قديمة.
الثانية: قولهم: إن الله سبحانه وتعالى لا يحيط علماً بالجزئيات الحادثة من الأشخاص.
الثالثة: إنكارهم بعث الأجسام، وحشرها.
فهذه لا تلائم الإسلام بوجه، فأما ما عدا هذه الثلاث من تصرفهم في الصفات، والتوحيد، فمذهبهم قريب من مذهب المعتزلة، فهم فيها... كأهل البدع. انتهى ملخصاً.
ثم إن القاضي، أبا الــوليــد: محمد بن أحمد بن رشد المالكي.
المتوفى: سنة 595.
صنف تهافتا من طرف الحكماء، رداً على تهافت الغزالي، بقوله:
قال أبو حامد: (وأوله: بعد حمد الله الواجب 000 الخ).
ذكر فيه: أن ما ذكره بمعزل عن مرتبة اليقين والبرهان.
وقال في آخره: لا شك أن هذا الرجل أخطأ على الشريعة، كما أخطأ على الحكمة، ولولا ضرورة طلب الحق مع أهله، ما تكلمت في ذلك. انتهى.
ثم إن السلطان: محمد خان العثماني، الفاتح، أمر المولى مصطفى بن يوسف الشهير: بخواجه زاده البرسوي.
المتوفى: سنة 893، ثلاث وتسعين وثمانمائة.
والمولى: علاء الدين الطوسي.
المتوفى: سنة 887، سبع وثمانين وثمانمائة أن يصنفا كتاباً، للمحاكمة بين تهافت الإمام والحكماء.
فكتب المولى: خواجه زاده، في أربعة أشهر.
وكتب المولى الطوسي، في ستة أشهر.
ففضلوا كتاب المولى: خواجه زاده، على كتاب: الطوسي.
وأعطى السلطان: محمد خان لكل منهما عشرة آلاف ردهم.
وزاد لخواجه زاده بغلة نفيسة.
وكان ذلك هو السبب في ذهاب المولى: الطوسي إلى بلاد العجم.
وذكر: أن ابن المؤيد، لما وصل إلى خدمة العلامة الدواني، قال: بأي هدية جئت إلينا؟
قال: بكتاب (التهافت) لخواجه زاده، فطالعه مدة، وقال: - رضي الله تعالى - عن صاحبه، خلصني عن المشقة حيث صنفه، ولو صنفته لبلغ هذه الغاية فحسب وعنك أيضاً حيث أوصلته إلينا، ولو لم يصل إلينا لعزمت على الشروع.
وأول (تهافت) لخواجه زاده: (توجهنا إلى جنابك 000 الخ).
ذكر: أنهم أخطأوا في علومهم الطبيعية يسيراً، والإلهية كثيراً، فأراد أن يحكي ما أورد الإمام من قواعدهم الطبيعية، والإلهية مع بعض آخر، مما لم يورده، بأدلتها المعول عليها عندهم على وجهها، ثم أبطلها.
وهي مشتملة على اثنين وعشرين فصلاً، فزاد فصلين على مباحث الأصل.
وأول تهافت المولى الطوسي: (سبحانك اللهم يا منفرداً بالأزلية، والقدم 000 الخ).
وهو رتب على عشرين مبحثاً، مقتصراً على الأصل، وسماه الذخيرة، وعليه، وعلى تهافت الخواجه زاده، تعليقة للمولى شمس الدين: أحمد بن سليمان بن كمال باشا، المتوفى: سنة 94، أربعين وتسعمائة.
